Yu Qiu and Li Jianming felt a blur before their eyes and found themselves on a huge platform.

Li Jianming stood there, looking around, his heart filled with wonder and awe. The platform was so enormous that he felt like a tiny ant standing on a vast grassland.

In the sky, a magnificent cloud drifted in from afar, painting the entire sky into a beautiful picture.

The colors of the clouds kept changing, from red, orange, and yellow to purple, as if the universe's paintbrush was dancing in the sky, outlining one magical pattern after another.

While still marveling at the wonder of the platform, Yu Qiu pulled him down to kneel.

"Yu Qiu greets Elder Cao."

Cao Zhengchun showed no joy or sorrow, simply saying calmly, "It's still half a month before the Palace Master emerges from seclusion, you've arrived quite quickly."

"Yu Qiu only wants to come back to see his mother as soon as possible, please grant Elder Cao's request."

A glint flashed in Cao Zhengchun's eyes. In his eyes, the two were intertwined by karma. If no powerful figure intervened, the two would be inseparable. He immediately understood their relationship and said, "Does he also want to enter? Do you know that it is against the rules to bring outsiders here, even if he is your husband?"

Seeing that Cao Zhengchun had seen through their relationship at a glance, Yu Qiu immediately knelt down and said, "Palace Master, you will probably have to take my mother with you when you go to conquer the stars. I don't know when we will be able to meet again. I want my mother to approve of us in our final moments. I beg Elder Cao to have mercy on us."

"Even so, you still cannot go up. I can send you a telepathic message. As for whether Fairy Yu will come down or not, that depends on your fate."

After Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, he closed his eyes and continued meditating, looking like he no longer wanted to pay attention to the two of them.

Yu Qiu knew that it was already a great honor for Cao Zhengchun to pass on a message to her, so she pulled Li Jianming and stood silently in place.

Li Jianming's heart had been pounding ever since he arrived here. He had seen his share of big events, but he was still very cautious in this magical place. He had a feeling that the old man in front of him with the hoarse voice must be an extraordinary expert.

He could tell that the previous patriarch of the Wuji Sect, Zhao Wuji, had treated Yu Qiu with some familiarity, perhaps out of respect for Yu Qiu's mother. But the old man in front of him spoke as if every word was a theorem, showing no regard for Yu Qiu's identity. Clearly, his status and cultivation must be exceptionally high.

The two waited quietly, neither speaking, simply gazing at each other, their eyes meeting as if exchanging a message.

Time ticked by, and even Yu Qiu couldn't help but feel nervous, let alone Li Jianming. Their hearts were beating faster and faster, as if they were awaiting judgment.

Suddenly, a brilliant light shone in the sky, and an unparalleled palace complex vaguely appeared in the void.

The palace complex radiated a dazzling light, illuminating the entire sky. Countless gems were inlaid on each wall of the palace complex, shimmering with brilliant light.

The palace is surrounded by lush greenery, with colorful flowers vying for attention and emitting a fragrant aroma.

Li Jianming stared blankly at the palace complex, his heart filled with awe and wonder.

Even Yu Qiu was a little stunned; she hadn't been back for a long time either.

Li Jianming had never seen such a beautiful sight before, as if he were in a fairyland. They felt an unparalleled sense of beauty and happiness, a feeling that made them forget all their troubles and worries.

The palace gates slowly opened, and the heavenly ladder beside Cao Zhengchun stretched out, leading directly to the gates, instantly forming a magnificent passageway.

A cluster of colorful lights converged at the palace gate, forming a human figure. The figure gradually became clearer, and a woman emerged from it.

She slowly descended the heavenly ladder, her figure petite and her steps light, like a fluttering butterfly. Her clothes were simple yet elegant, and a jade hairpin adorned her simple updo, exuding a fresh and refined aura.

Her face was delicate and beautiful, her eyes were bright and expressive, and a gentle smile played on her lips, making one's heart flutter.

She walked lightly onto the platform, her body seemingly weightless and making no sound. A mysterious aura emanated from her, creating a sacred and solemn atmosphere.

She gazed at Yu Qiu silently, her eyes seemingly filled with disappointment and frustration.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Yu Qiu ran quickly towards Yu Min and cried out, "Mother, your unfilial daughter has come to see you."

Although Yu Min would occasionally send her messages over the years, she never showed her face. She had never seen Yu Min again since she left Yunxiao Palace.

Yu Min stroked her hair, her lips slightly parted, and she said slowly, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Yu Qiu knew her mother was angry with her because she had run away from the palace when she was young, not wanting to be controlled. She knew her mother wanted her to learn martial arts in the palace so that she could become skilled and stay by her side. If she ended up mediocre in the streets and the martial world, the two of them would go their separate ways.

She was naive back then, only thinking about being free and unrestrained. Now it's too late for her to regret it.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Now that things had come to this, Yu Min had nothing to complain about. She glanced at Li Jianming, who was standing uneasily in the distance, and asked, "Would you like to introduce this gentleman to me?"

Li Jianming glanced at Yu Min and was so frightened that he took five steps back. He then realized what was happening and quickly knelt down with a thud.

"Li Jianming, a humble student, pays respects to Your Highness, the Fairy!"

Yu Qiu chuckled and said, "Are you trying to pass the imperial examinations? Still calling yourself a novice? This is my mother, and also your mother-in-law, not some fairy."

Li Jianming hurriedly corrected himself, saying, "Junior Li Jianming greets Mother-in-law. Just now, I was intimidated by your aura and misspoke. Please punish me, Mother-in-law."

Li Jianming didn't dare to look at Yu Min even once. In that hurried glance just now, he was stunned by the woman's temperament and didn't even see her face clearly. Now, standing three meters away, he could still smell the faint fragrance emanating from her, which made him feel somewhat confused and infatuated. He still felt lingering fear when he thought about it!

This has nothing to do with his evil thoughts. The three women who are always by Meng Fan's side are nourished by the spiritual energy of immortals and have shed their mortal bodies. In particular, Yu Min is born with a fox-like body. Meng Fan not only does not conceal her aura, but also uses great supernatural powers to develop her fox-like body to the extreme. Now, every glance, smile and movement can drive men crazy!

It was quite remarkable that Li Jianming managed to restrain himself and slightly lose his composure, which indirectly proves that he is not a lecherous person at heart.

"You two come with me into the palace to speak. Elder Cao, you've worked hard. I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter."

Cao Zhengchun nodded slowly and said, "Just give me your instructions, Fairy Yu. We're all doing this for the Palace Master, so there's no need to talk about hardship."

Yu Min waved her hand lightly, and a ball of energy enveloped the two of them before they disappeared.
